D-Glucose was converted into its per-O-(2-aminoethyl)-functionalized derivative 4, which served as initiator core for the construction of the chiral, monodisperse PAMAM-type carbohydrate-centered hybrid dendrimer 7.

Multivalency of carbohydrate-protein interactions is critical for cell adhesion, including attachment of bacteria to their host cells. To investigate specific parameters of multivalency effects, a variety of multivalent glycoconjugates has been designed according to different mimetic approaches. Some 15 years ago, carbohydrates were elaborated as multivalent scaffold molecules for the preparation of carbohydrate-centred 'octopus glycosides' as well as of other carbohydrate-centred glycoconjugates. The beginning of this research is reported from a historical perspective and a selection of interesting applications is highlighted. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
